If the "already deinterlaced" clips were 60i and are now 30p thanks to being deinterlaced, then those will not fare well when trying to convert to 24p with Magic Bullet (or any other 60i->24p...

Jonathan,

When you go to New Project, there should be a screen with folders on the left and settings on the right. There should be some NTSC and PAL folders, but also Panasonic 24p. No?
